Darts - Cross & Smith gone. Aspinall last chance for points amongst 12 English players in the Last 32.
Top Scorer - Kane 2 goals behind 3rd place. Would likely need 5 or 6 goals to have a chance of first. Wolves and v Fulham are his two remaining fixtures.
Championship - Bournemouth decent chance of second, Brentford/Watford an outside chance. Derby gone.
EPL Last - Looks a certain 4 points for Sheffield United. WBA in poll position for second. Palace no chance.
pokerhand - Leader, happy with every event blanking, only likely chance of points is Bournemouth. Maybe 1 point from Burnley if lots of results go his way.
luckforsome - Deficit 5 points. Needs 5.5 points between WBA and Clan Des Obeaux (more needed if either of pokerhands chances get points)
limpwhacker - Deficit 8 points. Likely 4 points from Sheffield United. to half it. Then needs incredibly strong finishes from Brentford and Harry Kane to bridge the gap.
RichieM - Deficit 8.5 points. Clan Des Obeaux to provide 4, Kane to grab the hatricks. Every result to go Watfords way so they somehow finish above Brentford and Bournemouth. It's not happening.
Flushdraw - Deficit 8.5 points. Needs Cyrname to win, Aspinall to win and a point from WBA.
2/7 pokerhand, 11/4 luckforsome, 11/1 Flushdraw, 22/1 limpwhacker, 150/1 RichieM.

What does the Asp have to do to lock up points? e.g. if a few Eng bust the same round?
Just rewatching his game now, because he was a lucky boy to get take out Scotty 2 Hottie!

Looking at the Full Draw, top quarter you'd hope MVG mops up. Chisnall might get to quarter-final but could find a Chizzy way to lose before that.
Second quarter Glen Durrant is highest remaining seed but looks a shadow post-covid. Would have to get past Diving Board and probably Anderson.
Third quarter's a problem, with Wade, Bunting & Searle in the same mini-section. Only Kim Huybrechts can prevent one of them getting to quarter-final. Whoever gets there, Peter Wright should await.
Fourth quarter is Aspinall's section.

Limpwhackers (estimated) 22/1 shot of Harry Kane, Brentford and Sheffield United has improved a little with Bournemouth @ Millwall covid-ed off whilst Brentford won.
Nice to see covid still having an effect on the game this late
Second place in general looks very complicated, quite a lot of people still with a chance, I won't even try and analyse it.

Result 34/37
Darts World Championship Best English player
Disappointing stuff here - 12 months ago I had hopes of this going to a quarter-final between two of our selections on New Years Day to decide the points and the money.
Aspinall's defeat however sees everyone knocked out early.
1st. Wade or King or Chisnall or someone, who cares.
LeaderboardSheffield guaranteed 4 points so limpwhacker effectively tied with luckforsome.Soccer 31/12 Soccer 31/12 Soccer 31/12 Top Scorer Championship EPL Last pokerhand (3) €400.00 46.5 Timo Werner Bournemouth Burnley luckforsome (2) €120.00 42.5 Aubameyang Derby WBA RichieM (2) 39 Harry Kane Watford Palace limpwhacker (3) 38.5 Harry Kane Brentford Sheffield Utd Flushdraw (3) 38 Aubameyang Bournemouth WBA mcnugget 35.5 Aubameyang Derby Burnley Strewelpeter (1) 35.5 Mo Salah Bournemouth Brentford shrapnel (3) 33 Aubameyang Watford Brighton Lao Lao (2) 31 Jamie Vardy Norwich Burnley mdoug (3) 30.5 Jamie Vardy Bournemouth Leeds ArmaniJeans (3) 30.4 Mo Salah Brentford Fulham 6starpool 29 Sadio Mane Cardiff WBA premierstone (2) 25.5 Aubameyang Bournemouth WBA
WBA (luckforsome) guaranteed 1 point and look reasonably strong for 2 points, so up to Kane and Brentford (limpwhacker) to match or beat that.

Originally posted by luckforsome View Post...Have to say- the competition has been good for the year, but the last 6/8 weeks has been brilliant... Having a proper interest in so many different events is class,... Even prize money aside it's the best competition on IPB... Thanks as always for doing it...
*****
So with no more football after today it'll all be over this evening.
Good to see second place (and even first place if Kane scores 6 goals !!) is still alive heading into the final day.
Always better to have a sweat at the top than a procession like mdoug had last year.
The competition was in rag order back in April/May but thankfully with everyone's co-operation we got replacement events in and the second half of the year was hectic and fun.
*****
So 2021 - I haven't given it huge thought to be honest with so much happening at end-game this year.
Fundamentally it doesn't happen if people aren't interested.
I suspect numbers might be lower as these things have a natural fall-off.
But if there's a chance of 9 or 10 players then great, I'll do it.
So thank this post or reply with 'In' if you'd be a likely player. Previous non participants always welcome.
We look to be in covid territory for the next few weeks so I'll hold off for a while.
This'd give me some time to look at the calendar and get the right events spread over the year. And assess the covid situation re Olympics etc.
*****
What I'd plan is a start date in early February (deadline day whenever the 6 nations start). I'd get the list of events to you by mid January.
Maybe 30 events covering the stuff in the first half of the year (gold cup, augusta masters, Euros, world snooker, Champions league etc) and the year long events (baseball, aussie rules, super league etc).
Then in July I'd come back with a further 15 events to be selected by end of July.
Stuff like Top Scorer in EPL, Arc de Triomphe, King George which would just be pinsticking if we picked them now but are more reasonable to pick in by summer.
I think this actually worked well this year, meant we had 8 events concluding in December which kept the game alive.
Would stick with €40 & maybe increase it to 4 changes.
And importantly will get onto DeadParrot to see if anything can be done about putting the tables in spoiler quotes to make it all more readable.
So let me know what you think.

... Brentford win and go to 2nd in the league, for now!... As of now, Limpwacker and Luckforsome sharing 2nd spot, Luckforsome need Swansea to win tonight...
...Kamara, I see you are about to interview Liam to get his thoughts... "Liam, unbelievable isn't it, how are you feeling"?... "Fuck off"...
...There ya have it, Liam still pissed off that Trump missed the pink ball that would have had him tied at the top...
.. We're off to Wales...

Don't think there's any errors but if I've missed out on something that gets you into the money then let me know asap.
Pity there's a tie for second, €60 seems a wee bit pointless after being so close to the biggie.
Comments
Very close in the end - points dried up for longtime leader pokerhand with 8 successive blanks, and could have been caught with a few different results in the last week.
But deserved victory for some super early picking.
Rattling good finish by limpwhacker after being near the bottom for a long time.
Strewelpeter could have won if he'd used his changes, there or thereabouts again.
Incredibly close all around - lots of people within three 4 pointers so doubtless there's a few hardluck stories.
Turning points
I'm sure I've forgotten a few key ones but ones that stand out.
Geraint Thomas 6/4 fav in a field of 120 crashing out on Day 2.
Trump and the missed pink.
Ronnie back from the dead against Selby.
The field for the Arc totally breaking up, but Enable still not getting the job done.
Danny Noppert not being able to give any help to MVG in the quarter-final.
Notts Outlaws being absolutely dead and buried in the quarter final, but scraping the win via a misfield on the last ball and going on to get 4 points for ph.
It's been fun.

Thanks AJ, been great fun, and am delighted to win a competition... Something I hardly ever do.
Been at the top for so long meant I was way more invested in the competition than I would normally be and watching way more sport than I usually do. A lot of those are standout moments, but the one I never forget is the look on Roglic's face on the second last day when he lost that time trail to lose the TdF.No beast so fierce but knows some touch of pity, but I know none, therefore am no beast.

So with no more football after today it'll all be over this evening.
Good to see second place (and even first place if Kane scores 6 goals !!) is still alive heading into the final day.
Always better to have a sweat at the top than a procession like mdoug had last year.
The competition was in rag order back in April/May but thankfully with everyone's co-operation we got replacement events in and the second half of the year was hectic and fun.
*****
So 2021 - I haven't given it huge thought to be honest with so much happening at end-game this year.
Fundamentally it doesn't happen if people aren't interested.
I suspect numbers might be lower as these things have a natural fall-off.
But if there's a chance of 9 or 10 players then great, I'll do it.
So thank this post or reply with 'In' if you'd be a likely player. Previous non participants always welcome.
We look to be in covid territory for the next few weeks so I'll hold off for a while.
This'd give me some time to look at the calendar and get the right events spread over the year. And assess the covid situation re Olympics etc.
*****
What I'd plan is a start date in early February (deadline day whenever the 6 nations start). I'd get the list of events to you by mid January.
Maybe 30 events covering the stuff in the first half of the year (gold cup, augusta masters, Euros, world snooker, Champions league etc) and the year long events (baseball, aussie rules, super league etc).
Then in July I'd come back with a further 15 events to be selected by end of July.
Stuff like Top Scorer in EPL, Arc de Triomphe, King George which would just be pinsticking if we picked them now but are more reasonable to pick in by summer.
I think this actually worked well this year, meant we had 8 events concluding in December which kept the game alive.
Would stick with €40 & maybe increase it to 4 changes.
And importantly will get onto DeadParrot to see if anything can be done about putting the tables in spoiler quotes to make it all more readable.
So let me know what you think.

Once again thanks for putting in so much time and effort AJ. Much and all as I love the competition I can't face another year of maximum frustration trying to open the page. If they can sort out the issues with spoilering I will be delighted to enter but thus far there is no inclination to do so from what I can see. You and others have been asking for a while now. As for this year's tournament meehhh. Left far too much to do early before coming on strong. Couple of might/should have been in Donegal v Cavan and Trump. Picked up 14 out of 16 points available in the GAA with hot favourites Donegal the only blot. WP Poker and Luck and GG all.

Successfully transferred €400 first prize to pokerhand yesterday, will get luckforsome and limpwhacker done over the next week.
Tis a slight slow process as something went wrong with my AIB online last year and I have to go into the bank directly and fill in a transfer form.
So I did the biggest prize first just to indicate I'm not doing a Danny.
*****
Re 2021, looks to be enough interest as 8 people from this years comp & EagleEye have suggested they'll be in again. And probably one or two of the others will be tempted in again.
I'll stick with the target of getting 30 initial events picked by around the 21st Jan, with selections expected in by 6th Feb.

Transferred €60 to limpwhacker yesterday, should be with you by now.
**************
Experimenting with google spreadsheets to limit the amount of on-page tables in the next edition.
New at this, so bear with me.
Last years final result.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...it?usp=sharing
Can people see this? But hopefully not able to edit.
Or anything else I need to do?
Should be 3 tabs including the leaderboard.Last edited by ArmaniJeans; 16-01-21, 17:32.

Unofficial so no need to go scrambling for selections.
But likely looking something like this.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1MO0z-u1wX3JlyYmTzGvDhZd46KlOM-xjyTx8XkQJk8s/edit?usp=sharing2021 Events Sport,Event,1st,2nd,3rd,4th,5th,Start Date,End Date Soccer,Champions League,4,2,1,1,16/02/21,29/05/21 Soccer,Europa League,4,2,1,1,18/02/21,26/05/21 Soccer,UEFA 2020,4,2,1,1,11/06/21,11/07/21 Soccer,EPL LAST Place 31/12/21,4,2,1,01/08/21,31/12/21 Rugby,6 Nations Top Tryscorer,4,2,1,0...
1st tab/sheet is events to be selected by 6th Feb.
2nd sheet is events to be selected some time in July. Come July some may be dropped, or others added. Dependent on pandemic amongst other things.
If anyone has good events they'd like added, then throw in any suggestions.
Will finalize list next weekend.

Hopefully that'll mean people will be able to access it via phone/tablet without issue.
Will do a moderate amount of spamming in the BBV as always.
